    I had anterior. Am very fit. No restrictions on crossing legs. Just no running for 3 months. Cheated on that. Ran at 5 weeks. No problems at all.

      Well Claudia, we all heal at different rates and all surgeons have their own opinion on what works best. I would say take the advice of your surgeon but that does seem to be a long time.

      Claudia, I just read your short Bio. I now see why your surgeon said to wait. Best of luck to you
